Creative Geometry Maps Assessment
We have completed a Geometry chapter from our textbook that covers the basics and includes a lot of vocabulary. The material starts easy (points, lines, line segments), but it gets complicated (vertical angles, adjacent angles, complementary angles, supplementary angles, the sum of the degrees in any polygon)... It proved to be difficult material for sixth-graders. After giving the textbook chapter test, I searched for an alternative test that would be a creative outlet for students and let them prove their understanding of the material in a unique way. I came across the idea for a Geometry Map Project at this site. Rather than have students create a three-dimensional scene, I opted this time to have them create a map on graph paper. Check out the results for yourself; here's a sampling. Awesome work!
